WikiProject India is started today. It is a great joy to start this project. Hope this project will help to further improve Indic Wikidata content. Suggestions are welcome. Thanks. --Titodutta (talk) 16:56, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

I am already preparing a Google Sheet with data extracted from the loksabha website etc. that can be shared among interested contributors to do off-wiki translations for the names for all parliamentary persons since Independence. After wetting for all mistakes, these can be exported to Wkidata in bulk later. Please wait a few days and get in touch with me

Also why is "Mahir" at the start of this subsection's title? Mahir256 (talk) 05:43, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

@Naveenpf: My question about whether you are working on items for Lok Sabha members still stands. Mahir256 (talk) 13:38, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi Mahir, my interest is on maps side of Wikidata [4]. I have placed your old message if anyone else is interested in Lok sabha members. Just checked your recent edits, it looks every good. I will try to get Lok Sabha constituency public domain map, so that we can place in commons.--Naveenpf (talk) 14:51, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the great gesture and offer. We will make sure to seek your help anytime we need it from now onwards. :-)

As the collection grow up, we will be needing many more national / regional IDs and codes. Right away, I want to have a University Code and College Code to be assigned by the All India Survey for Higher Education, a standardization body constituted by the Govt of India. These Ids start with a U- (for universities) and C- (for colleges). eg. a typical ID for a college will be C-xxxxx (5 digits) and for a college will be U-xxxx (4 digits) where x is a digit 0 to 9. We may name these as AISHE IDs for Indian Colleges and AISHE IDs for Indian Universities.

Next, One of the basic coding system now having acquired as a somewhat concrete structure is the [Indian Standard Classification of Education]. Essentially, this is a schema of classification to be used for all official communications and documentation in the educational sector within India. Will you please have a look at it and see how we can evolve a translation of this structure as properties and items within WIkidata? Thanks again.

Inspired from the idea of Featured Wikimedian of the Month by Wikimedia Chapter (India), I propose the concept of "Wikidatan of the Month" to WikiProject India on Wikidata. For this, we can discuss create a workflow to select the Featured Wikimedian, and various criteria pertaining to that. Before we start, I suggest the project members to give their inputs. Thanks to User:Titodutta for supporting me proposing this. --Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk) 16:53, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

Support Sounds like a great idea, thank you for proposing it! Could you share some links on what the process and criteria looks like elsewhere? —Prtksxna (talk) 17:12, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

Sounds like an awesome idea to me. Thanks Krishna. It would be great if we can have a featured Indic Wikimedian every month. It would be great if we can honor them with (specially if they are from India) a Wikidata Tshirt or something like that. --Titodutta (talk) 18:07, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

Excellent Idea. This will be very motivating. Thanks for the proposal. --Pavan santhosh.s (talk) 18:42, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

This is a great idea. I support this whole heartedly. I suggest not to have very strict process and criteria. This should be fun and motivating. --Satdeep Gill (talk) 13:22, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

Thank You all, I'll propose a draft workflow, that we can discuss upon. @Titodutta: "specially if they are from India"? I didn't understand this phrase, we are only focusing on India Wikidata editors right? --Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk) 12:07, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

Yes, do that and create some wonderful template to put on the userpage of the winner! --Kritzolina (talk) 19:58, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

Krishna, I meant if we are including T-shirt, it would be easier to courier to the editors who are based in India. Sending tings abroad takes more time and energy. However we can not have this restriction forever, and the point is up for discussion. --Titodutta (talk) 10:17, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

Hello @Krishna Chaitanya Velaga:, I appreciate your idea and interest towards this. In my opinion the selection time should be shortened. Means voting can be one week long. "(10th-17th)" and selected before 20th.

As an award T-shirt would be great. In my opinion instead of digital certificate, we can send them post cards. The post card may contain their best contribution, some interesting facts about that contribution like how many page views it got in a month and etc. --Gopala Krishna A(talk) 08:07, 27 October 2017 (UTC)

Yes, that is nice idea. We can send a digital certificate, but for postcard or t-shirt, I would like to know whether CIS-A2K would help us in this. Pining @Titodutta: for this. Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk) 05:28, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

Hey, as you all know I am not the Wikidata expert ... and looking into the Bhubaneswar edit-a-thon I found a problem I do not know how to fix on Wikidata, perhaps one of you can help ... the English article of the page links to another Wikidata item than the German one ... the item linked from de.WP and the one from en.WP. Who knows how to fix this? --Kritzolina (talk) 20:02, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

@Krishna Chaitanya Velaga:, here you can see a Wikidata India logo I was talking about. I found it somewhere on Commons but currently unable to find. Will check again. The logo is simple but good to go, in my opinion. We can make some changes, and do some derivative from it. --Titodutta (talk) 09:11, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
